High dimensional accuracy, stable processes, and flexibility in the face of changing workpiece requirements are key demands in modern cylindrical grinding. EMAG's universal grinding machines in the UG series were developed precisely for these tasks.This webinar will give you an overview of the machine concept behind the UG series. You will also learn how internal, external, and out-of-round grinding processes can be combined to achieve optimal grinding results.Universal grindingThe UG series allows multiple grinding processes to be combined on a single machine. This reduces setup times, simplifies process flows, and increases the reproducibility of results.Typical applications are:

Internal and external grinding

Flat and contour grinding

Taper, thread, and out-of-round grinding

Machining between centers or in a chuck

Machine concept and model overviewThe UG series comprises four models with grinding lengths from 400 to 1,500 mm:

UG 400

UG 630

UG 1000

UG 1500

The series thus covers both compact workshop solutions and universal production machines for long shafts and complex geometries.Precision through rigid structure and direct drivesA rigid machine base with precise linear guides in the X and Z axes forms the basis for high dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Direct-drive motor grinding spindles with up to 11 kW ensure low-vibration power transmission and consistent grinding quality.The automatically swivelling B-axis enables stepless positioning from –15° to +225° with high angular accuracy and is crucial for surface and contour grinding processes. Precision spindles with high motor speeds and oil-air lubrication are available for internal grinding.

Manufacturing solutions for key transmission components in humanoid robotsHumanoid robots place extreme demands on their drive systems. Precision, dynamics, and reliability depend largely on the quality of the transmission components used – especially in compact, heavy-duty joint actuators.In this webinar, we show which workpieces determine the performance of humanoid robots and how these components can be mastered in terms of manufacturing technology. The focus is on key transmission components and the resulting requirements for precision, tolerances, and process reliability.In focus: Workpieces for modern robotics drivesHumanoid robots combine different gear concepts to achieve high precision in replicating human movements. Several key components are central to this:

Circular splines with high-precision internal teeth

Flexsplines as thin-walled, flexible shaft wheels

Wave generators with elliptical functional contours

Planetary gears for compact, high-torque gearboxes

Planetary roller screws for linear actuators

These workpieces directly determine the positioning accuracy, running behavior, and service life of the entire drive system. Why these components are challenging to manufactureAll of the components under consideration combine several challenges:

Very tight form and position tolerances

Thin-walled or filigree geometries

Complex tooth profiles or elliptical contours

High requirements for reproducibility in series production

This is precisely where it is decided whether a gear concept works in the laboratory – or can be reliably used in industrial applications.What you can expect in the webinar

Overview of key gear components in humanoid robots

Typical workpiece-related requirements from practical experience

Production-oriented classification of accuracy, tolerances, and process stability

Practical examples from real robotics and gear applications

Insight into how complex workpieces can be manufactured economically and reproducibly

In this webinar, you will learn how intelligent modular machine and automation solutions enable cost-effective, scalable, and reliable manufacturing. The focus is on concepts designed for low unit production costs, high process stability, and reproducible quality—from individual machines to complete production lines.Modular machine platformsThe solutions are based on modular platforms that can be adapted precisely to the machining requirements. Standardized interfaces enable processes to be flexibly combined, expanded, and scaled—without compromising stability or availability.Focus

The results are reproducible quality, transparent processes, and a sustainable reduction in scrap and rework.

Are you also facing the challenge of outdated production systems? In the modern manufacturing industry, companies are faced with a dilemma: on the one hand, the demands for precision, energy efficiency and digitalization are constantly increasing. On the other hand, new investments in machine tools are associated with considerable costs. At the same time, spare parts for older control and drive technology are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, while worn mechanical components impair production quality.The solution: Professional retrofitting from EMAGRetrofit means much more than simple repair or retrofitting. It is a comprehensive modernization process that turns proven machine concepts into state-of-the-art production solutions. With EMAG's retrofit concepts, you can transform your existing systems into high-performance, future-proof machine tools - at capital investments that are 15 to 30 percent lower than a comparable new purchase.Topics:
